Abstract

Classical and Quantum mechanics are the two milestones of physics and mathematics. The path integral describes the generalised form of action from classical to quantum mechanics. This paper has reviewed some fundamental concepts and results in classical dynamics and quantum mechanics. The research method of the whole project is mainly theoretical derivations of applied mathematics and mathematical physics. This paper provides different perspectives to investigate the applications of path integrals. This paper also builds a connection between path integrals and the Unruh temperature.

Keywords

path integrals, simple harmonic, oscillator, relativistic quantum, mechanics, unruh effect, detector models
